Mr. Speaker, it is now reported that the Somalia inquiry has new memos that cast doubts on the military police investigation and the information commissioner's report on an attempted cover-up.
According to the commissioner, these investigations have not had all the relevant documents necessary to reach sound conclusions. The defence minister was very quick to trumpet the information commissioner's report when it appeared to clear General Boyle of any direct involvement in the Somalia cover-up but now the information commissioner has expressed concern that all the facts were not on the table.
Can the defence minister categorically state that General Boyle played no role whatsoever in DND's efforts to cover up Somalia documents?
